A charity ball at the Marriott Hotel in Swindon has raised enough money to enable a women's centre to offer full health checks to its visitors.

Staff at the Well Woman Centre in Milton Road, Swindon have now been trained to carry out blood tests for cholesterol, glucose and haemoglobin with instant results.

They have also been able to buy a new Clinitek machine for pregnancy testing.

The ball was held at the Marriott on May 8.
